Meet Your New One-Stop Shop for a Sustainable Wardrobe

For something so simple, there are a whole lot of white T-shirts out there. They range from a three-pack of Hanes to designer ones fetching $500, but eco-friendly brand Zady, launched in August 2013, just released its idea of the “perfect” tee. It has rolled sleeves, a front pocket, crisp, flattering lines—and it’s 100 percent organic. Even better, you can follow each step of its production on the company’s website, from harvesting the organic cotton in Lubbock, Texas, to spinning and combing it in Thomasville, North Carolina, all the way to dyeing it with phthalate-free ink in Burlington, North Carolina. Tracing a garment’s journey from concept to closet is something we touched on earlier this week, and Zady’s chic options—which also include three sweaters—make you wonder why you ever bought basics anywhere else.

There’s more to Zady than great, American-made tees and sweaters, however. The site also champions like-minded designers, stocking a unique selection of clothes and accessories from Won Hundred, Clare V., Nanushka, A Peace Treaty, Cooperative de Creation, Veja, and many more. That way, whether you’re looking for a new pair of sneakers or a beaded necklace, you can find it all in one place—and you’ll know it was produced thoughtfully.
